Hello folks!
I've recently been looking around for 488nm diodes. I never really had any success finding anything less than $1000 (or any company that would reply to my emails at all.)
Then I contacted Semicom Visual a few weeks ago, and promptly forgot about it.
Today I woke up to an email saying that one diode was 75 GBP. That's $120!!! I couldn't believe what I was reading so I asked them to confirm that it was indeed the PLT5-488. It is!!
I've asked Jordan if he can purchase any. I'm sure he will drop in here. :)
Here's a screenshot of the e-mail for the skeptics among you:
